Summary of Unit
A brief snapshot, as if
someone asked you to
briefly and clearly
describe the intent of the
lesson or project.



Goal setting is a major component of my classroom. This year, students will not only set their own personal and academic goals, but they will also use digital storytelling to think about, plan, summarize, and share at least one SMART goal with the rest of the class.
Essential Questions
What will guide student
inquiry?



What would you like to accomplish in the next month? The next 3 months? The next year?

Think of someone whom you'd like to emulate. What exactly is it that you'd like to emulate? What did that person do to foster that characteristic, skill, or role?

Why is it easier to accomplish goals when you're part of an encouraging team?
Academic Standards
Include technology.
Use district standards
where applicable,
targeting performance
objectives you will
assess.
